* * Directions * *


1. To get to Nationals last year, we took Interstate 64, and that took us all the way to Hampton Virginia. On our way there, it also took us right through Louisville KY. To get to I-64, the best way is to avoid all the St. Loius traffic. Take Route 127 South. This takes you through Greenville. Greenville tumblers, I'm sure you know where this is.

2. Follow Route 127 South to I-64, which is about 36 miles south of Greenville. You will go through several small towns. The last town you will go through before the I-64 interchange is New Minden. You will go over the overpass of I-64 and turn LEFT to merge onto I-64 EAST.

3. Now you're gonna want to get the DVD player warmed up, because it's about 3 and a half hours to Louisville. Basically, just follow I-64 EAST all the way through Indiana, and as you cross the Ohio River into Kentucky, you're in Louisville!

4. To get to the Broadbent Arena-- Shortly after crossing the Ohio River int Louisville, you will come up to the I-65 Interchange. Take EXIT 5 A-B onto I-65 SOUTH. This may be a little tricky because the exit is on the left, then it branches again to left and right.. right for I-65 north, and LEFT for I-65 South. You will follow this for about 5 miles.

5. Take EXIT 131-B. The signs will say "Waterson Expressway Exit 131-B toward Airport/Fair/Expo Center." Once you take that exit, it will branch off again. Stay to the RIGHT, the signs will say "AIRPORT/FAIR/EXPO CENTER."

6. Again, the ramp will branch off, and again follow it to the RIGHT, toward "FAIR/EXPO CENTER." This should put you on Freedom Way. The next intersection is Phillips Lane, turn LEFT on Phillips Lane, and you should see the arena immediately on the right side of the road! The yellow highlight on the map below should help guide you from exit 131-B to the hotel. Map courtesy of Mapquest.com.

Forms

Below are a few forms concerning Nationals. One is an advanced ticket sales form, the next is a program ad form for submitting advertisements in the Nationals program, and the last is a layout of ad sizes. I have tried to make these available to download and print. This may or may not work, its the first time I've tried something like this. To print forms, click on the link below the one you want to print. A new window will open up with the form. In the new window, click File, then Page Setup. Clear both the "Header" and "Footer" fields, and set all 4 margins as close to zero as possible then click Ok. If you want to see what it should look like, go to File then Print Preview. Click Print and it should print out.
